Took my ambien tonight and just woke up eating a grilled chicken wrap and cheetoes....WTheck??

UUUUHHHHHHHHH.....ya that's bad. Throw that crap away!!

I agree, try to get something without the sleep eating side effect. That is too dangerous for us sleevers!

So glad u woke up, hope youre doing okay.

I once ordered a $3000 vacation for 4....one problem (I have a family of five) on ambien....I was also a sleep eater with it....needless to say I stopped taking that stuff! good thing you woke up

When I take ambien I order stuff off the shopping networks that I normally would never order and the sad thing is I don't remember I did it. That stuff can be nasty.

Wow they should pull that stuff off the market !!! My mother took it once or twice and she was absolutely certain that there were cats under her bed (she had no cats !) and she had a nice long conversation with her mother (who had been dead for 15 years !) Gotta be something better than that wicked stuff....

Wow I used to take Ambien and it never did that stuff to me! Guess I was a lucky one!

I have eaten, had convos with my wife and do not remember the next day. I thought I went to bed early, but my wife said no, I was up for another 3 hrs or so... No more Ambien for me.

If u do take it, go to bed right away and stay there until u fall asleep!

Never ever accidently drink a glass of wine then take ambien shortly after

If you take it,it's best to take it right as you are going to bed,,don't take it early because you'll do all kinds of weird s***.

I would send REALLY dirty and REALLY explicit texts to my friends (married, single, male and female). Really everyone but my husband! But I'd also send very dark messages when I was in a depressive low. So bad that friends called hubby to make sure I was okay.

With help from my hubby and best gf, I kicked my habit.

Split your Ambien in half then after a week or two- THROW IT AWAY.

Tapering was easier than I thought and I was on that poison for over a year.

I still can't believe I did that! I have also noticed that I post stuff on Facebook that I don't remember posting. I have only been taking it for a couple of weeks. Needless to say I will not be taking it anymore!

Saw the psychiatrist today. He said Ambien is a psychotropic and a recent panic attack I had may have been exacerbated by it! (i was given a rx for just one to help with a sleep study) He doesn't like the stuff at all. I'm with him there! Just thought I'd pass this along.

I take it and I have no trouble with it. I've heard of people doing all the things mentioned here. I am wondering if they wake up doing these things? Or do they take it and stay up waiting for it to work? I would never stay up after I take it.

I take it and stay in bed and fall asleep.

I did my 'dirty texting' when I thought I was asleep. I kept it in the nightstand and took it while in bed. It still took a while to kick in (I've always had trouble falling asleep) but I stayed in bed. It was only after my friends would tell me the next morning that I knew what I did. When a person is having a little ambien episode, they can appear to be normal and alert. My husband would come to bed and not realize I was 'asleep'. He'd tell me good night and to not stay up too late chatting.

I've never taken it but I know 2 different people who took it just before climbing into bed.. unfortunately they both woke up in their cars.. and neither of them remembered getting out of bed let alone driving! One totaled her car and was injured, the other gal fortunately 'just' ended up on some random person's lawn..

besides the addictive nature of it these stories also scared the crap out of me. Scary that docs prescribe it to people who don't know about it and for the most part we trust our doctors..
